Ubiquiti’s USG router steps up with dual wan support!
I was very excited to discover this feature listed in my Unifi controller today. You can now repurpose the VOIP port to act as a WAN2. The ironic part is that i don’t believe the VOIP port serves any actual VOIP function as of yet. I’ve been recommending these USG routers since I learned of their existence. Unfortunately a lot of my clients want dual WAN and until now, the Unifi Security Gateway fell short. No longer, Ubiquiti has a really great product line with the Unifi. I am continuously discovering great new innovation with the latest update to their software, firmware, or cloud platform. I have been waiting for this!

Defcon 2016 photos and videos
Close ups of my much coveted badge. Some hardware and base stations of the wifi village. Both Information Society and Berlin played on Saturday night! Shot a video of an amazing demo from the Car Hacking Village. A car modified to play games instead of driving. Also, the best of my flight home. Some great pictures of Hoover dam and some of the solar farms and mesas as we few home.
Defcon is on!
A little disappointed about the electronic badges selling out. Already met some amazing people. Enjoyed some great talks. Watched some live social engineering and a bomb defusal contest. Tons of great hardware hacking. An arduino powered robot poured me a shot!

Star Wars and code!
With my work queue nearly completed, i have decided this morning to sit down and start a few small projects of my own. I’ve got three screens up; client side, server side and Star Wars. I am ready to get it done. Starting with the original version of the the original A New Hope. This will keep the creativity flowing while not distracting too much from the task at hand. I’ll be posting on the other side assuming i produce something worth sharing. I hope you are making the best of your Friday. #starwarsandcode
Update:
Got some great stuff done, but nothing ready to show off yet.
Finally upgraded firmware of a critical piece of my network!
For years now I have been terrified of one particular network device. This high end device requires a service contract from it’s manufacturer to be eligible for software upgrades and as such had been neglected for some time. I couldn’t use it the way I wanted or hardly at all for fear that it would be compromised via the Heartbleed vulnerability. Forced to relegate this amazing appliance to be firewalled far from the prying packets of the Internet at large.
Finally, with some licensing help from a friend, it’s firmware is finally current! It can once again take it’s place as the core of my network without the fear of being instantly owned. Thank you Adam once again for all your help. Let this be a lesson to hardware venders. Don’t force people to pay service contracts just for security upgrades. Your bugs, your job to fix.
Sorry Facebook Users.
I broke all the links from my previous posts to Facebook. sorry. honestly, I should have updated my syndication years ago. I am not going to delete the posts, but they will just link to the current site. Lets faec it, no one was clicking on it anyway. whoops.
Something is getting better!
My blog is now distributed with Amazon’s Cloudfront CDN using powerful encryption and signed by a proper CA certificate. See the shiny green lock? Like a grown-up adult website. After only 8.5 years. Congratulations! Thank you StartSSL!
Update: you may have noticed that the transition has been a bit bumpy. Still getting the hang of things and this website needs a lot of work (possibly a complete resurfacing). I am sorry about the downtime and all the SSL errors, I am working on it. Thanks Eric, I hope I didn’t step on your birthday plans kidnapping your brain.
